I LOVE apples.

Apples are easily my favorite fruit. I have at least one every day. Every week I go to the store and by 6-10 more apples for the upcoming week.

There's just something about biting into a perfectly sweet and very very slightly tangy, crunchy apple.

I also love eating them with peanut butter. In fact, the other day on my way to work, I had a thought: people are engineering all kinds of crazy foods right? Someone needs to come up with an apple that has peanut butter in it.

Here's my train of thought on that one: I was running late to work so I grabbed an apple to eat in the car. As I was eating it I thought, "Boy it sure would be great if I had some peanut butter to go with this apple. Peanut butter is a great source of protein and then I would stay fuller longer." But I was driving so I wouldn't really be able to eat an apple and peanut butter with both hands on the wheel; eating an apple alone was hard enough! So I thought to myself, "It would be perfect if this apple already had peanut butter in it! Genius!"

Here's the problem: when I actually shared this idea with someone else, out loud, it didn't sound so great. Actually, it sounded kind of weird. Peanut butter inside an apple? Gross.

But anyway, I love apples. If you want to make my day, bring me a nice, in-season, crunchy apple. I'll be happy for a good while.

Do you love apples?
